They are trying to get something very similar. I don't know if you've ever been to a big leather place, but it's like a Pantone book, in leather. There are tooooonnnns of choices. A lot of them you just never see. I can't guarantee it, of course, but I am very confident that Viberg will come up with something that will satisfy nearly everyone.

No, we are still waiting. Apparently, they've got one leather that is exactly right on the color, the other... the thickness? I don't remember, exactly. Anyway, they sent in the sample and are trying to get one of two companies to get it closer. The factory is closed either right now or soon, and I don't want to start the presale for these until the other preordered MTO come in. But we will get these done in the next round, assuming there are no further complications.

Saw this in the larger Viberg thread, apparently this is Copper Task Roughout. I realize that the Cabourn boots were pre-distressed, but should we be expecting a leather that resembles the one below or the darker brown of the Cabourn boots?

edit just read the entire thread on how viberg ran out of copper task (a true travesty). hopefully they find something as good, i'd be down for the 110 last with a captoe as well. the type of leather for me has to be roughout, i really appreciate the nappiness of the rest of viberg's roughout offerings.Edited by knocksteaady - 8/3/14 at 11:09pm
